Diagnostic reproducibility of periodontal indices

Journal of Periodontal Research, 1977
Relatively few studies have assessed the diagnostic reproducibility of periodontal indices. In the present investigation, the changes in Gingival Index and Plaque Index scores were measured by carrying out 203 duplicate examinations on 11–13 year old children.Reproducibility of diagnosis was assessed by applying the paired t test and the coefficient of

Diagnostic indicators of elevated nitrogen deposition

Environmental Pollution, 2006
Tissue N content of mosses, which has been shown to be an indicator of enhanced N, was studied at a range of locations dominated either by wet or dry deposited and oxidised and reduced forms of N. Tissue N responded differently to wet and dry deposited N.

The Interaural Intensity Difference as a Diagnostic Indicator

Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1971
A simple sound Iateralization task, based on interaural intensity differences, has been developed as a tool for diagnosing central auditory disorders. Simultaneous white noise bursts are presented di-chotically at an equal sensation level. The intensity is then raised in 1 dB steps in the test ear until the sound image is located at that ear.

Diagnostic Results and Indications

2015
The relationship between the data obtained from provocative tests and angiographically assessed coronary artery disease is usually expressed in terms of sensitivity (the frequency of a positive test result in a population of patients with coronary artery disease) and specificity (the frequency of a negative test result in a population of patients ...

Thoracoscopy: present diagnostic and therapeutic indications

European Respiratory Journal, 1993
Thoracoscopy is increasingly being used for diagnosis and treatment of pleuropulmonary disease. The recent revival was made possible by the tremendous advances in endoscopic technology. The main requirements for diagnostic purposes are rigid telescopes and forceps, and for interventional thoracoscopy scissors, staplers and a video recorder.
